One-shot video clips are a visual treat in themselves, but when all the action takes place at the bottom of a swimming pool, the excitement levels rise to a whole new and surprising level.
One last video clip? The only Lydia? Highly Suspect falls into the category: “I can’t believe it exists. ” It is filmed in real time and for four minutes, an actress tied to the bottom of a pool tries to free herself.

- Detailing the artistic intent behind this piece:.
However disturbing, was this experimental project carefully designed with the intention of making a shot in one place, with a character at the helm, an extreme situation?Life and death. If you can get ahead, the untouched nature of footage allows the on-screen action to come to life. By focusing on the real feelings and emotions associated with love and its loss in any form, our exploration has been to seek to create just that: real feelings. We’ll let you decide how it moves you, but we’re just asking you to notice how it moves you. and you’re probably not alone. It’s the power of cinema.
While there is an excellent video of BTS, it has yet to be released by the band’s label. However, the producers did share information about the technical challenges associated with making this film. The first question you are probably asking yourself is, “How can someone hold their breath for so long?” Well, the actress in this video is really a freediving world champion, her name is Marina Kazankova.
Former free diving champion and world record holder Marina Kazankova is best known underwater for her ability to ”dynamically hold her breath”, or her ability to move athletically and pass the time. energy while holding his breath. On earth, Marina is also an actress and a global traveller, speaks several languages (she speaks four languages), and once heard that Marina could swim nearly four Olympic pools. in a sigh we knew we had found our character.
According to the producers, some of the difficulties encountered
Communicating underwater presents a number of challenges, so in the weeks leading up to filming, we accurately traced and rehearsed the continent’s choreography with Marina and our underwater operator, Pascal Combes-Knoke, all in sync with the music. When we were finally able to enter the pool, before each take, Marina was pulled to the bottom of her breath in a scuba tank, while attached to the harness. When I was ready, everyone below would say “OK”, and then we’d get the tube out and start filming. The final video was shot 6 out of 8.
To work below the surface, a Hydroflex underwater loudspeaker system was used to play the song underwater and communicate with the submarine and distribution team during installation and filming. We had live video from our home in Gates Deep Dragon for a set of monitors provided by Ikan so we could see the action unfold. We use EPIC DRAGON in 6K for filming.
That’s all we have for now. When the BTS video comes out in the next few weeks, we’ll definitely share this information too, and we’ll also post a bit more information on these images from the Pier Pictures team.
